Submitting a ROGS application

• Recognise differences from Safety Case
• Much more about managing your own risks and being
  held accountable through your SMS.
• Work with HMRI local Inspector
• Involve from day one.
• Read assessment criteria, and -
• Match documentation to criteria
• Dont 2nd guess what you think is wanted, its
  simpler than you think.

5
The Documents

• Use existing template - it was developed as close
  to generic as possible, but
• Dont just replace Company X by your Company.
• Share best practice and experience.
• Use diagrams rather than text where possible.
• Ensure you have a clear understanding of the
  differences between parts A and B.
• Constantly cross reference to your SMS to avoid
  duplication.

6
Consultation

• Involve Trades Union representatives.
• Put final documents on a website.
• Advise interested parties by email of the link.

7
The future

• The focus is now on managing risk not managing
  the paperwork.
• If changes kept within your SMS generally no need
  for a new Certificate.
• e.g. Gatwick Express becoming part of Southern is
  defined as a major change not a re-issue.
